Overview
- In the United States, the partial phase begins around 3:44 a.m. ET, with totality from about 6:04 to 7:02 a.m., as the Moon sets for much of the East Coast during the peak.
- Full visibility is forecast across Australia, New Zealand, much of the Pacific and western North America, with only partial views in parts of Latin America and central Asia.
- Spain and much of Europe will miss the total phase because the Moon sets before totality, with only early, low‑altitude phases possibly visible near sunrise.
- The entire event lasts roughly 5 hours 39 minutes from penumbral entry to exit, with the fully eclipsed interval near one hour.
- The reddish hue arises as Earth’s atmosphere filters out blue‑green light and bends red‑orange wavelengths onto the lunar surface, and the eclipse is safe to watch without eye protection, though binoculars or a small telescope enhance detail.
